SC EP:1245 The Juvenile Playing On My Tree Stand

Tonight we’ll be talking with Jake from Minnesota. Back in the early 1980s, he witnessed something he described as a chimpanzee playing on his tree stand. Then, 30 years later, in the same area, he encountered another creature this time displaying behavior unlike anything he had ever heard or seen before.

    Thx Wes…hey guys I’m wishing everyone a wonderful Easter tomorrow. Sending best wishes to my SC family. I’m looking forward to hearing tonight’s episode while I’m cooking tomorrow morning… ❤️

    I find it interesting the 2nd one was around 9’ tall but only had a 15” print. GENERALLY it seems like their print in inches is double their height in feet, so a 15” print would come from one around 7.5’. This is based one eyewitness testimony.

      Good fact James G. Yes 15 inch at 7 foot 5 would be what the Dr. Grover Krantz scale has suggested. Which would also make Patty over 7 foot, maybe 7 foot 3. Instead of the ridiculous 6 and a half feet so many are stating.

      Yes she did Sheila C. That was the one named Blacki but he was either a juvenil or young adolescent. I remember Janice hated that one to death. Especially after what happened to a neighbor or was an about 13 year old girl. It’s peculiar that her sister who was in an espisode in late 2024, never talked about Janice. Perhaps it was because of the overwhelming ridicule Janice and Mary Green recieved after publishing, especially from the Bigfoot community in the early 2000s. However Lyla did have a chapter in the book.

    I hate to sound condescending or whatever, but I just don’t understand seemingly intelligent people who honestly think that these things are just “good at hiding.” NOTHING is THAT good at hiding. gorillas are extemely well-adapted to their mountainous forest environment, and they are extremely intelligent, but once modern western man decided to go and find one, it took us days. not years, or months, or weeks. gorillas can be sitting in the bushes 10 ft away, and you’ll never know it. yet the very first expedition to secure a gorilla specimen was successful. and we got, not just one specimen, but several. to say that these creatures are just good at hiding means that they would’ve had a 100% success rate, 100% of the time, since the beginning of time. not one single mistake. not one single slip up, not even by a youngster. That’s impossible. especially in today’s world where you have thousands upon thousands of people out in the woods looking for these things, more people than ever before, and in this modern day of drones, and thermal, and night vision, we still have nothing. even the smartest, most agile, most experienced predators in the forest slip up from time to time. we as humans don’t have much difficulty in getting any specimen we want. there are a few animals who have given us a bit of trouble, but we’ve always been able to locate and obtain a specimen eventually. but not this one. not ever. not once. when we as humans want some sort of specimen, a small party goes out on an expedition and they obtain one. a small group of people. yet nowadays as I said, there are tens of thousands of people out in the woods looking for these things these days, and nothing. nada. no luck. ever. we’ve gotten every animal known to man on game cameras. but not these. it doesn’t matter how adapted they are to their environment, or how good they may be at elusion, there would be an occasional mistake made if these things were just normal, natural creatures. we’re going to be coming up on a century of documented instances of people searching for these things. and who knows how long they’ve been sought out before that. but no success and all that time. even natives haven’t been successful in getting one of these things. when people say they are just “good at hiding,” I don’t think they’re actually sitting down and really, truly thinking about what they’re saying. no other natural creature in the history of the world has been 100% successful, 100% of the time, at eluding human beings. and if you want to look at it from a statistical standpoint, it’s statistically impossible that in the history of all time, we’ve never managed to produce a specimen. yes, these things are physical beings. they obviously have a physical presence. they leave tracks, they poop, etc, but there is something “extra” about these things. whether it’s just something that is scientific which we don’t understand yet, or whether they’re paranormal, I have no idea, but these are not just natural animals. no way, no how. NOTHING is that good at hiding, not even humans, and you can’t hide from thermal. thermal has been available to the general public for quite some time now, and thermal has been used in this field for years at this point, but still nothing. with all of the modern technology, and military technology and things at our disposal, we still don’t have anything. I’m sorry, but it’s just impossible that they are merely flesh and blood. there’s something else.

      Our government has definitely harvested specimens but they generally just don’t want us to know they’re real because it’s a huge hit on the economy in so many different ways. They tested the waters with the spotted owl thing back in the ’90s and that shut down multi millions in logging and in small businesses that depend on people going out to the parks. If they said hey thousands of people are going missing in our parks because of some 8 to 10 ft tall thousand pound man killer nobody would be going on family trips to our state and national parks. It would just be a bunch of people heavily armed out to try to kill them or people that think they can go be friends with them and get killed.

    does anybody know who the exit music is? I think it must be the same artist that he’s been playing for the intro and exit recently. Really smooth.

    Jake, you should look up Sybila Irwin Sketching Encounters, she has drawn several of these Sabe People using witness descriptions. The one that pushed you down could have been “counting coup” like the Commanche.
    Happy Easter, SC Family, Christ is risen

    Thanks Wes and Jake for a great episode. I like to watch sheep herding videos with border collies (BC). The description of the large creature’s behavior reminded me of herding behavior. The BC often nips a stubborn or unresponsive sheep to get them moving; not to hurt them. This creature was upright so they used their arm to shove. After a BC gets a herd moving; they will approach and retreat to guide the sheep in a specific direction. Enjoy the rest of your weekend SCers!

    An amazing account! I was especially intrigued by the encounter with the juvenile. Encounters with juveniles are even more rare. The underlying genetics, variations of these creatures is mind blowing. Thank you Jake for sharing your encounters and TY Wes for making all of this possible. The world around us is filled with mysteries and miracles. Happy Easter and God bless.

    Gotta love it. A juvenile stealing his caramels. Surely a treat they would never get in the forest. It makes me wonder if they take honey from hives. I have not heard the roar, except on videos which do not capture the intensity. I have heard the Ohio Howl and I know it was a good distance away, at least a mile in the Huron National Forest and boy did it carry with that very low sound and I knew right away what it was. Jake. Contact Sybilla Irwin, she has a website and is a very accomplished sketch artist with Bigfoots. Perhaps the tall scrawny one had some kind of disease, from where I do not know. It may have been in contact with other humans in it’s life. Another thought is it may have been an early adolescent and just grew up tall before it filled out. This is the first time hearing of a “family friendly” display by an adult male. It is common in juvenile males as told by Janice who was Lyla’s sister in Lyla’s SC episode in late 2024. Thanks Jake for a truly great SC episode.

    Right here in the home state! It would be fun to know where this land is, but it sounds like 1/2 of the state! Great encounter. I’m wondering if it was near where I’ve had my sighting and encounter near Itasca State Park. Thanks Wes and Jake!
